Both the MacBook Air and MacBook ship with 30W power adapters from Apple for charging purposes. This 5,000mAh portable power is compact and lightweight, and its small enough to easily fit in your bag (even in the smallest pouches or tote bags), making it extremely convenient to have around. Design A button at the top right of the Powerstation 3XL can be pressed to initiate charging or to let you know how much charge is left in conjunction with four LEDs that light up to let you know the power level. Though not provided, if you combine the Mophie Powerstation 3XL with a USB-C to Lightning cable from Apple (and Apple is the only manufacturer of these cables at the current time), you can use the accessory to fast charge a compatible iPhone. With the USB-C to USB-C cable, I was able to charge my MacBook from zero power to 53 percent using the Powerstation 3XL in one hour, and with the new 11-inch iPad Pro, it charged the device to 66 percent from zero over the course of an hour, also using the USB-C to USB-C cable.

Capacity wise, a single 26,000mAh charge was enough to charge my MacBook from 0 to 100, my iPad mini from 0 to 100, and my iPhone X from dead to 56 percent, so there's a good amount of power there for dealing with multiple devices that need to be charged up.

How to Buy

For the record, at 45W, the Powerstation 3XL also offers faster charging than the 18W USB-C power supply that ships with the iPad Pro. Using the standard adapter, my iPad Pro charged from dead to 45 percent in an hour, but with the Powerstation it got up to 66 percent during the same time period.
